Okay, seriously, who is actually in charge here, and please no one say it's the mice again, because honestly, are you listening to yourselves? They would have to be giant demonic mice, and--

They're not, right?

Whatever, I'm getting distracted, I can kill--erm. Extermi--uh. DEAL with giant, demonic mice if that's actually the case (not that

[Aziraphale is reading when a familiar voice pipes up. He stops paying attention when Buffy seems to ramble on about mice. But when he hears the word "bookshop", his head snaps up and he stares at the guide.

Oh dear.

He fumbles for the device, hand a bit shaky. Is his private solitude going to be interrupted? Not that he wouldn't welcome her, just that... It's his shop. And he's lived in the shop alone for... Well, since he opened the shop. Actually, he's lived alone ever since he came to Earth.]

Er... What, pray tell, is the name of the bookshop?

[stakedthat]

I don't know, some rare, occulty, weirdo thing. I really wasn't interested.

[manicuredangel]

It, er... It wasn't Fell's Rare Books, was it?

[stakedthat]

[Pause. Looking around anywhere but the screen.] Maaaaybe?

[manicuredangel]

Oh... Oh dear... Er... I suppose that means I should freshen up the linens...

[stakedthat]

Wait, wait, wait. Don't tell me--

That's your bookstore?

Shut. Up.

[manicuredangel]

Er... I won't lie to you in this matter...

[stakedthat]

Shut. Up.

How is that even possible?

[manicuredangel]

There's a bedroom upstairs... I've, er... Lived here comfortably for quite some time.

[stakedthat]

Okay, not quite what I meant, but still weird. I mean, we used to have impromptu sleep-ins at the library, but that wasn't, like, a thing.

[manicuredangel]

You... You slept in the Library?

[Such a foreign concept to the angel.]

[stakedthat]

I work long nights, sometimes I don't make it home. What, did you expect "Saving the World" to be a 9-5 gig?

[manicuredangel]

Er... No. Not that... It's just that a library is a place to read and learn.

[stakedthat]

Right, if my reading and learning, you mean the mouth of hell, sure.

[manicuredangel]

I'm sorry?

[stakedthat]

You heard me. A Hellmouth is exactly what it says on the tin.
